You can't see the gun in this video, but beginning around the :55 mark you can watch Clint Smith top off a mag while his gun is holstered.
Admin reload is never done while you're in combat obviously (unless its for one handed manipulation). It's only to be done between strings of fire on a range.
That's why almost every single safariland model has the ability for you to eject the magazine while the gun is holstered.
Admin reloads have been apart of LE training for quite a while.

I think the optics ready VP9 has landed at SHOT.

I like that they’re going to have blacked out rear sights with a high visibility front sight.
Not as experienced as many here, but I have taken pistol classes with Langdon, Panone, JJ Racaza, Aaron Barruga, and other, less known instructors. To the best of my recollection, the only instructor who didn't allow an admin reload in the holster was Jerry Jones (OpSpec Training). Jones explained he doesn't like the possibility of improperly seating the magazine, resulting in a dropped mag when the pistol is drawn.
